Not all 4 letter words are bad.

You know we all to often think that four letter words are bad. In this case this four letter word is great. It is something that we all need and yet never fully receive. It is something that is probably the answer to stress and health issues. It is something that I myself do not get (by choice a lot). That word is:

REST

When you think of the words a few things come into your mind. Some might think of a nice little afternoon nap. Others might equate that as a vacation away from the world. Then again it could be as simple as sitting down and the end of the day and just resting your feet. Although these are good I think there is a rest that surpasses all of these types.

Psalm 55:6
"Oh, that I had wings like a dove; then I would fly away and rest"

Doesn't that verse right there just almost relax you in itself. Think of a lonely dove leaving its perch for a flight that would carry it away to complete rest. This place is secluded and is where you can find TRUE rest. This is a rest that is heavenly. What is the difference you might think?

• A little nap brings you temporary rest.
• A vacation brings you temporary rest.
• Resting you feet at the end of the day gives you temporary rest.
  

God provides for us a rest that is great. When you find it you will not be weary. When you find it you will not be worried. The only way the world will ever find it is to find Christ. Once you have it your soul can rest.

With all of that said I really want a nap now! ZZZzzzzz.... (LOL)
